A memorial portrait.

I wasn’t able to make a funeral, so instead made this. DK Gouache and Acrylic on watercolour paper. Based on the Fayum portraiture style. My dad always liked them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayum_mummy_portraits An early teaser study which I like but crucially, doesn’t look like him. A Fayum portrait, made in encaustic.

Early 2026 sketches.

Ate the V&A sketching plaster casts and a probable Leonardo sculpture (one of my favourite ever sculptures) and at the Peter Doig exhibition whose paintings leave me baffled – though I loved the speakers and Lawrence djing. Michael Clark was there choreographing some work but alas, I couldn’t see over the heads.https://www.serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/peter-doig-house-of-music/ Bowie Day at…

Thailand & Cambodia - A3 works.

A worldly or divine Apsara អប្សរា from Angkor Wat អង្គរវត្ត. Paint and pencil on A3 watercolour paper. The original reliefs on the vast temple were painted, mostly in red pigment.

Then put into photoshop and coloured.I was saying to my daughter I’d like to do more…

Thailand / Cambodia sketchbook

Handmade paper sketchbook. 19x14cm. Pencils, Pens, Watercolour.It speaks for itself. The sketchbook was originally bought in India around 30 years ago. Most of the work was made in a recent holiday in Thailand and Cambodia. You can see where I went and what I saw. Sometimes drawing while walking. Loved it.

This was a personal project – a riposte to just using computers for everything. I wanted to get back to exploring texture, craft and a more human approach.

Caravaggio Sketches.

My wife and I went to Rome to see the Caravaggio 2025 exhibition, which was obviously very good.I made some sketches there of a work you couldn’t photograph and a work that has always interested me compositionally. Ecce Homo Caravaggio (Michelangelo Merisi, 1571-1610) The conversion of Saul to Paul (first version) Plus my hand on the plane home…
